    Parking Inspector
    - just made my list of one thousand
    one thousand and one

    but ah Parking Inspector

    Went to my friends
    when I found a fine beat
    cos I like to play a rhythm
    where the rhythm plays me
    play it all day
    on a balcony above the street
    where old Franky and me we
    shuffle with our feet
    And old man Goergie
    takes some sugar with his tea
    when he's stirred by a melody
    of hands moving easy
    you see it reminds him
    dreams by the sea
    where the breeze blows
    underneath that island tree

    And we played til the playing
    Gave us the munchies
    then we played in the kitchen
    made the easy gods happy
    cos we left them a little chilli-special
    and some chocolate we eat because it's sweet
    when I leave I am smiling
    at the things I haven't done
    oh I haven't broke a sweat
    and I haven't had to run
    for the list of one-thousand
    -and-one that does plague me
    on some days
    when the sun rays don't come

    Parking Inspector
    just made my list of one thousand
    one thousand and one

    but ah Parking Inspector
    (won't let you wreck my fun)

    When I get to my car
    I am faced with a sight
    that is strange and it's sad
    and it's mad it's not right
    there's one thousand and one
    spaces free but I see
    that he find me guilty
    of the time over fee
    Now I know why my mother
    why my mother warned me
    said 'you might be lucky
    but know nothing comes for free'
    she is right - entirely
    cos the ticket paid the song
    that I sing to this beat

    Parking inspector
    just made my list of one thousand
    one thousand and one
    but ah parking inspector
    won't let you wreck my fun
    cos when I pay for my ticket
    I won't curse and despise
    no i'll run into the girl
    with the slinky blue eyes
    then my list of one thousand and one
    will remain
    I had plans to get it done
    but now my plans they have changed

    Parking Inspector
    just made my list of one thousand
    one thousand and one

    but ah Parking Inspector

    'just listen to the bass and the funky drums'

    Parking Inspector
    just made my list of one thousand
    grow a little more
    but ah parking inspector
    you won't believe what I saw
    on the back of my ticket
    with invisible type
    was a map to the place
    with one thousand delights
    and a key that was one to that
    spot by the sea where the breeze
    blows underneath that island tree
